No back in my smoking days I was a creamy Embassy man. Regal are Embassy sweep ups. Everyone knows that! 

And I'll have you know that I'm distantly related to the Tophams of Aintree! 🙂

I still blame you for extending my smoking habit but 10 years. I was smoking those terrible Malbroro Lights, I remeber saying to you that they tasted like crap and might give you. You recomended Embassy as a 'creamier' smoke. It worked.

That extra 8p per pack for Embassy was a guarantee that only the finest tobacco was used and that each cig was no doubt hand rolled! Lambert and Butler was known coloquially known as Lambert and Scrutler round these parts.

I've also just had a flashback to people who used to accumulate thousands of 'focus points' wrapped in elastic bands so that they could trade in the thousands of pounds (and couple of years they'd lost of life) they'd spent on fags for a new kettle.

Regal was always my preference but I used to quite happily smoke Embassy if I couldn't get hold of Regal. I still occasionally smoke when having a drink but I now buy Embassy as first choice as they're significantly cheaper than Regal - They reduced the price a few months ago

I was going to mention focus points, one mate collected them so he got all ours 

He got a snooker table ashtray and some hair clippers, which we used to shave our heads pissed up the night before Wimbledon away, our first PL game

My mate collected the focus points. We went to that shop on the walk down from Piccadilly and exchanged them all for a couple of hip flasks!
